People need to realize that even if we pull the troops out of Iraq prematurely, the war will not be over and will get worse. The "Sadr" resolution seems to be tagged with benchmarks which must take place before requesting our troops to go home. And the achieving of those benchmarks will take a long time to meet. Let's hold off and wait for details on this resolution. Good point, DubiousD, and it’s worked for Bush so far.

But then... we should have seen this is coming. Recall the 2000 election debacle? During the weeks (months?) of the recount, Gore and his toadies were on the airwaves constantly, addressing the nation, demand a "fair" ballot recount. But where was Bush? How many times during that period do you recall Bush addressing the nation and arguing for his side? The legitimacy of his own presidency was at stake... and Bush refused to take the airwaves even to defend *himself*. It's just not in his psychological makeup. If he wasn't willing to play the media P.R. game in order to defend his very right to sit in the Oval Office, do you really think he's going to go the extra mile for our troops? Mac,
